@ctfam so you cant own an ak in 7.62 bu you can own a vz-58? what the hell kinda law is that? glad i dont live in CT
-
very very nice.id take the saiga over the galil anyday although i like the galils..are those mags stock?
-
@M249SAWzALL Oh and BTW if it ain't 7.62x39mm, it ain't an AK-47.
-
Respected by all? The 7.62x39mm AK-47 is respected by all cause it's killed more men than cancer. An AK in 5.56 is damn insult to real AK's and Kalashnikov s design!

The only problem with converted Saigas, is that its a pain-in-the-ass to thread on a muzzle device to the tip of it. Its the last thing on my Saiga that I have yet to do. Once I get around to it, I am going to finish my conversion, and get a Bulgarian sight block on mine. Then it will look like a true AK-74.

You and I have the same wood kit... it's actually taiwanese, it's a good set. I'm sure you've shot this a lot since you filmed this so you know likely better than I.

@horsefeathers87 Smaller bullet and more accuracy the Saiga
It looks like you pressed the gas block/sight block off to get that standard handguard retainer on there. How much trouble was it to deal with the pinch rivets on the two blocks? Or, did it have any at all? I see what looks like pins at the bottom of both blocks.
Just so you know what I'm talking about, most new Saigas no longer have pins at the bottom of the gas block and sight block. They're all pinch-pressed with at the two dimples you see on each side of the two blocks.

@wysoft Naw man I got a bolt on retainer from Dinzag. Worked great and I didn't have to press that block off.

Btw I live in CT as well. What a ridiculous law. I can own an sks chambered in 7.62x39 and a saiga chambered in .308 but no AK chambered in 7.62x39. We need to throw these dummies out.

@DFosterXP Hell yeah man. Makes no sense. Check out my VZ-58. That's my new toy.

will AK74 mags work in the .223 AK?

@semiautoriflelover I heard you could convert them.... I wouldn't try it. I'd just buy an AK-74. Better round, Better mags, Better rifle.
